Van Morrison - Astral Weeks (1968) Remaster (2015) V0 torrent

The expanded and remastered Astral Weeks includes the first take of "Beside You," a stripped down, vibraphone-heavy "Madame George" and longer versions of "Ballerina" and "Slim Slow Slider."
All offer a deeper examination of Morrison's working relationship with the quartet that helped him record the LP: bassist Richard Davis, guitarist Jay Berliner, percussionist Warren Smith, Jr. and drummer Connie Kay.
The alternate takes are interesting from a historical perspective, but this is an album that needs no extras – the original in itself remains perfect in its unsurpassed completeness and complexity.

“Any best-of list is unthinkable - and worthless - without it,”

Van Morrison
